FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SUNBURN AND DREAM GIRL

The award-winning master of psychological suspense is in top form in this collection of diverse and diabolically clever stories.

A married couple - longing for that old romantic spark - creates a playful diversion that comes with unexpected consequences. A husband's secret cell phone proves to be a dicey temptation for a suspicious wife. Lippman's beloved Baltimore PI Tess Monaghan keeps a watchful eye on a criminally resourceful single father.


In eleven brilliantly crafted stories of deception, murder, dangerous games, and love gone wrong, Laura Lippman's sharp and acerbic stories explore the contemporary world and the female experience through the prism of classic crime, where the stakes are always deadly.
